マリーゴールド 'Alumia Vanilla Cream'

Planted these in a sunny patch and they're already covered in those buttery blooms, way faster than I expected. The bees are absolutely obsessed with the exposed stamens, which is exactly what I wanted.

The open-faced flowers are a real bee magnet—my patch is buzzing every morning. They've been blooming nonstop for over a month now, and that creamy vanilla color stands out against the green foliage beautifully.

Planted these seeds three weeks ago and the seedlings are already showing those creamy yellow buds. I love how compact the plants stay, perfect for my front border. The bees have been all over the open flowers this morning.
